    The food is consistently great. Decent portions and you can choose your level of spicy which is always nice. I have tried several dishes and have not be disappointed with the food...the service on the other hand is a hit or miss. I have gone several times and have sat with an empty glass of water even after requesting some. Ice very rarely comes with the water not sure why however, I am not a fan of just chilled or much less room temperature water. The service is just never that good if the owner is not there. The last two visits I was asked by the server if I could tip in cash when I presented my credit card. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable as I never carry cash and I know the guests in the booth behind me were also taken a back by this request as they were complaining amongst themselves when they were asked to tip in cash as well. Again, the food is great but the service could be better.

    It was a Monday night, so not peak time of the week, although they seemed to do a good takeout/delivery trade. I had a desire for a chicken tikka masala, although ended up going for the chicken korma. Not sure that was what I got, but still very nice. A lot of sauce, not so much chicken. Good amount of rice. Nice wine. The only problem was they forgot to bring my husbands food, despite asking how spicy etc, so the waiter had heard, the order for his didn't make it into the kitchen. It came eventually and was fine. We weren't in a hurry.

    Appears to be very popular for carry-out; lots of brown bags throughout the evening. A member of our party was uncertain about trying Indian food but enjoyed it and said he would be happy to return - victory!

    Indian cuisine was on my wife's list for her birthday. Thanks to Restaurant.com and reservations through Open Table, we discovered Raj Darbar Indian Restaurant in Lakeview. Eating early certainly makes finding a table easy. Our server helped us better understand the menu. Our sampler appetizer platter was a meal in itself. Although most items were fried, they were tasty. Out meals were very large portions, providing meals to take with us. The chicken dishes were of particular note with large chunks of succulent white meat. We'd definitely return.

    If you're looking for a great Indian restaurant in Lincoln Park, this is it! Food is very tasty and well prepared. The spicinest level is just perfect! Also, you can custom your order to which spice level you want. Lots of vegan options. Great for dinner date as it won't break the bank!

    Excellent quality food, to be appreciated by those who know Indian Food. The restaurant is lovely and tasteful as well as quiet. A nice place to host a group or a party.

    We were literally the only people there on a Sunday night at 8pm. Too bad. Used to like this place.

    If you're looking for very good Indian food, this is your spot. Best I've had in Chicago, so compliments to the kitchen. The lamb curry was outstanding, as was the paneer tikka. All of our dishes were very, very good. The service was very inexperienced, and the bar is poorly stocked. But if you can get over the normal Chicago service fetish and direct the otherwise friendly staff, and if you byob (they charge $1/person in corking fee), you'll have a great meal. Nice interior space. It seemed like they were doing lots of take-out, which makes sense. If there were a rating for take-out, Raj would get 5 stars easy.
